To The Moon, Like it's 1969!

 

The Artemis II mission kind of caught me by surprise. Think all the SPACE X pr, let alone the Orange Felon doings must have stopped it from getting any air around where I am.  

The music in this is a more ambient version of the last Sewaritei Walk I did.

Other Things

As a kid growing up, I believed the lie, the propaganda,  of our western systems of education and law, that the most appropriate people become our leaders and managers. 

Not true at all, where in reality money and nepotism play the biggest part. 

Not going to go on about current international events though, but back to a 5 month engineering gig I took in the early 2000s. 

It was a city infrastructure project that took us about 2 weeks to realize that the company that had won it was in no way suitable for it.  Everyone on it was a short term contractor. There was no experienced company with a great reputation behind it. Just a single investor with government friends!

But this story isn't about the guy at the top. One of the things I had to do in the gig was reverse engineer the interface on the companies green box used all over the city.  

Why do they need that for their own product?!

Turns out the green box was developed during some previous project many years earlier, and when it finished and they sacked all that developed it, and all the documentation, source code disks, manufacturing information, mechanical design files were boxed up and left for the next project.

Those boxes ended up in the corner of a room that some time later was assigned to a project manager on a later project. Without even looking at what the material was, the new project manager just threw it all out!

The manufacturing information was out at a contracted manufacturer, so that wasn't lost, so they could build more but not update or do anything new with it. 

To me, this is typical of Australia, and the people that become leaders, such as project managers.

The arrogance and ignorance was staggering.

I have no idea who that idiot project manager was, but am sure his confidence lead to him being a company director on the board of a big company. And being just as confident and wrong.

Those that know nothing are the most confident. More so than any one experienced in the field. Their I CAN DO THAT! is from ignorance.  Not knowing enough to know what they don't know.
